Recruitment Expert
Verified
Jest Fundamentals: test runners, watch mode, parallelization, custom matchers, timers, snapshots (used sparingly).
React Testing Library (RTL): test by behavior (queries/roles), async user flows, accessibility-first assertions.
TypeScript + Jest: ts-jest/SWC/Babel pipelines, type-safe tests, path aliases, module resolution.
Mocking Strategy: jest.mock, manual mocks, spies/stubs, MSW for network isolation.
Node/Backend Testing: Express/NestJS handlers, dependency injection seams, Testcontainers for real DBs/queues.
Next.js/Frontend Builds: routing, data fetching, server actions (where relevant), edge cases with SSR/ISR.
Isabela
Senior JS/TS Engineer
Isabela started as a scrappy React dev who kept breaking things just to learn how to fix them—then made testing her superpower. Eight years in, she’s the person you call when flaky suites wreck release nights. She builds behavior-driven tests with Jest + React Testing Library, swaps brittle snapshots for accessible, user-focused assertions
Marek
Full-Stack TS
Marek took the long road from helpdesk scripts to Node/NestJS internals, which explains why his tests catch the bugs others miss. He treats back-end testing like engineering, not ceremony: Jest for unit/integration, Testcontainers for real Postgres/Redis/Kafka, OpenAPI contracts to keep front-end and back-end honest.
Dusan
Software Test/QA Automation Engineer
Dusan grew from QA to frontend platform because she hated flaky UI tests—and then proved they don’t have to be flaky. She designs the test pyramid your team can live with: Jest + RTL for unit/integration, MSW for network isolation, and a thin layer of Playwright/Cypress for E2E sanity checks.
Testimonials
“DJ is phenomenal. They find amazing candidates, make hiring extraordinary devs easy. Think of it as having a top recruiter, HR, and payroll departments in dozens of countries.”
“DistantJob took the time to talk about the job description and explore what was important to us. They came back with a great candidate on the first try!”
“I can easily say that I’ve never worked with a more dedicated, patient, and productive developer. DistantJob made the remote engagement painless. Win-win!”
“We have 3 employees from DistantJob right now. Phenomenal. For the dollar value that we are spending, we are far ahead of what we would find locally or offshore.”
“Hiring through DistantJob (…) surpassed my expectations. I had no opinion before, neither for [remote work] or against, but this experience definitely put it on the radar for me.”
“DistantJob is great for helping you find technical folks especially when your local area doesn’t have the right pool of talent for the job.”
“The remote developers presented by DistantJob] delivered a caliber of quality, skill and technical expertise, beyond my best expectations, far exceeding our local team members.”
“Working with DistantJob made everything about recruiting a highly technical employee easier and cost-effective.”
As a leading remote IT recruitment agency, we care that our clients take part throughout the hiring process. Why? Because for us, hiring a qualified candidate is not only about the skills and abilities, but it’s also about how candidates match with your company’s culture.
As soon as you talk with us or fill our form, the first thing we do is analyze your company. We want to understand your culture and the type of people you value working with.
In 2 weeks, you’ll start reviewing people that match your requirements. We focus on providing you 3-5 top candidates instead of giving you an endless list.
Once you select the candidate, we handle all the contracts, NDA’s and payments from day 1.
We proactively source across global markets and triage applicants based on their expertise, salary band, U.S. time-zone overlap, English fluency, and long-term availability.
A recruiter assesses English proficiency, async communication, culture add, motivation, and availability. We verify work history and stability (no serial short stints).
Practical task (90–120 min): Expect US-hours overlap, deep vetting on Jest + React Testing Library, CI integration, and measurable flake reduction.
Senior engineers run a live session to walk through design trade-offs, testing approach, and deployment basics.
We speak with past stakeholders and review code artifacts where possible. We confirm achievements, ownership level, and reliability in distributed teams.
We align on start date, hardware/security constraints, preferred collaboration tools, and, when needed, relocation logistics inside the US.
